Nov. 30, 2007 - Journey To Bethlehem -- Advent Day 2 -- December 3, 2007
Christ, Our Creator
December 3, 2007
Scripture: Genesis 1:26-31
Song: All Creatures Of Our God and King
Activity: Start your children working on their own Christmas scrapbook. Since we were made in the image of our creator, we are creative beings and should use our creativity to bring God glory. If you have a digital camera, take pages of each day's craft during this advent journey. Print the pictures and allow your children creative license throughout the month to complete a scrapbook. Supplies can be inexpensive. Check out the clearance aisle at Michaels and get ideas for inexpensive ways to scrapbook on-line. I was able to find a small Christmas-themed scrapbook with pre-designed pages and paper already included for $5 a month or so ago. Something like that would make this accessible even for a little one.)
Simple Treat: Roast Pecans - Place 1 C of pecan halves into a glass pie plate. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir. Cook on high for 2 more minutes. Let rest 2 minutes, then have a grown up taste them. If a more roasted flavor is preferred, cook one more minute. Sprinkle on salt or sugar if desired.
The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
